So You Want To Be Irish...
...and let's face it, who wouldn't eh? The Irish are loved world-wide. Nobody has any gripes with them, they're all lovely and cuddly, and they're good for a laugh. And what with this being St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd publish my little ten-step guide to what you need to do to convince everyone around you that you've got the Liffy flowing in your veins.
Internet Commenter Business Meeting
What meetings would be like if everyone[1] behaved like they do in blog comments - it's the spammers that cracked me up, personally (via > Tom)
Weird English Laws
"It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance." - and the Welsh don't seem to get a good deal much either, judging by where and when you're allowed to shoot them
When Spam Goes Wrong
I am, to be honest, a terribly sloppy coder. But even I wouldn't end up with something that did this...
Spelling mistake takes tourist 13,000km off-course
"I didn't notice the mistake as my son is usually good with computers" - [El Reg] I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh at others' misfortune, but bwah ha ha ha haar :lol:
How To Be A Transvestite Weblogger In Six Easy Steps
Got a blog? Like wearing dresses? Worried that your content is a little sparse? Worry no more my little pantyhosed comrade. There's a world of content out there, just waiting to be reacted to.
Commenting Block
Dunno about you, but sometimes I read something online and my brain starts to froth with a desire to add something in recognition of how brilliant/inspired/funny/trite the post is - but my ability to retort leaves me.

Staking A Claim
I am not, it must be said, noted for my desire for self-publicity (stop laughing Kath), nor indeed any particular stroppy princess streak of behaviour (I said stop laughing :P). But I thought, what with the current Tranniesphere expansion, I thought I'd get this one in early...
Harry Potter Book Disguises
"Do you love Harry Potter, but think you're too old and too awesome to be seen reading the books?" - I'm only half-way down the page, and I'm already pissing myself laughing
Weird American Laws
"In Miami, it is illegal for a man to wear any kind of strapless gown" - but it says nothing about saucy little off-the-shoulder numbers. (Apologies for the hideous background)
Shenannigins And Tomfoolery
Apple's UK adverts - with Mitchell and Webb. What's not to love? [via > Jon]
Humans At The Ends Of Queries
Regular readers[1] will, no doubt be bored to tears well aware of my obsessional reading of search engine queries that lead here. Normally, when flicking down the list of them, I vaguely picture some yellowed-panty-wearing knob-shuffler typing in query after query, until he gets the "dressed like a girl and shagged" photoset he knows must be out there (somewhere). But every once in a while, something appears which makes me stop that mental image (thankfully), and puts a moment of human tragedy into the mix.
Peripheral Illiteracy
Do you ever see something out of the corner of your eye, something that even though you know what it actually says/is, your brain fools you for a second into thinking it says/is something else?
A Passing Resemblance
I have, perhaps unsurprisingly, had a bit of a flood of visitors these past couple of days, all having a look at this page. It's been posted in a few forums, and seems to be favoured by Google's image search. I knew that it was one of the few that turn up when you search for "scarey cybermen", but earlier on when I was checking my referrer logs, I spotted that it was on the front page of "new cybermen'
MSN Search: Siobhan Curran
My vanity-searches are getting more and more peculiar
Productive Afternoons
I, as I've said over and over again, don't work on Fridays. This leaves me lots and lots of time to either (a) swish, (b) procrastinate, (c) recover from hangovers, or (d) tweak this site.
Sooner or later...
...someone will leave derogatory comments on your website.

Populr
So, having been intrigued by flickrinspector and the obsessive numbers game that might ensue, I thought it would be interesting to write something that worked out how well read your blog was - based on various algorithms. To which end I present you with my afternoon's work...

TG Predictions for 2007 - Becky's T*Blog
The perfect antidote to a New Year's Day hangover - Becky had me in stitches this morning :)
Gloriously Myopic
My illustrious Lancastrian blog-colleague, > NRT, has a lovely little series going on where he takes search engine queries that have accidently brought people to his blog, and tries to answer the (often strange) questions contained therein.
Rubbish Pun
Not that I'm a fan of football or anything, it's just that I was walking past a discarded copy of The Guardian sports section and I saw the words "Henry poised to stay at Arsenal".
Leftfield Thinking From Siobhan's Sister, Sarah

Let's Take The Piss Out Of Local Newpapers!
Every week, on Thursdays I think, the weighty tome that is The Citizen comes through my door.
